ICE-CREAM DIPPER.

Application filed July 18, I917. smi No. 181,302

To all whom it may Hollow/IL.

lle it. known that l. THOVIL litnoinunlz. a citizen of the United States, residing at. Erie. in the county of lh'ie and State of Pennsylvania. have invented certain new and useful linprovenn-nts in lee-("ream Dippers; and I do hereby derlare the following to he a full. clear. and exact deseription of the invention. such as will enable others skilled in the art to \\'llll'li it appertains to make and use the same, referenee. being had to the accompanying drawings. and to the letters oi" reference marked thereon. Forming part otthis specification.

My invention relates to vending of ice rreain. particularly in eones; and the object thereof is to provide a deviee whieh will remove ind measure a quantity of iee cream from a rontainer. mold the same into form to tit the tone. and deliver the molded ice cream into the, cone. point first.

The features of my invention are hereinafter full described. reference heing had to the accompanying drawings. in which:

Figure 1 is a side view in elevation, of my eone filler.

Fig. 2. is a view looking downward on the Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a longitudinal central sertion of Fig.

Fig. 4. is a transverse section on line.- 11 in Fig. l. looking in the direction of the arrow.

Fig. 3. is a longitudinal section of the mold operating handle removed from the cone tiller.

Fig. 6. is a plan view looking into the movahle part of the mold.

Fig. 7, is a side view of the same.

Fig. 9. is a view of the mold scraper removed from the structure.

In these drawings A indieates the shank or handle of the cone filler. and A indirates a seiniwonieal spoon secured to one end of the shank A. The shank A is provided with a longitudinal opening u theretfhrough. and witha slotted opening a. in the wa thereof. (See Fig. 3.) On ea h side of the slotted opening a. are ears A. Within the longitudinal opening a of the shank A I place a slidable and rotatable shal't B. one end of which extends into the spoon A (see Fig. 3) vvhere it is provided with a scraper b.

The shaft B is provided with a helical slot It therethrough, (see Figs. 3 and 8) Specification of Letters Intent.

anll with a eirouml'erentivl groove Zr near the opposite end thereo livoted upon the shank is a spring pressed handle t by means of the pi ot c. which also passes through the. ears (1 ol' the spoon shaped mold 1). adapted to fit over the upper side of the spoon A. and also through the walls of the shank A. and through the helical slot 15" in the shaft ll.

The rear ends of the ears (I are provided with a noteh if which receive. lands on the handle as shown in Figs 1 and 2. so that the spoon shaped mold l) and the iandle l. are held togethei l v the pivot pin w and operated as an i'it e'z'a p ec 1l mot-i :inl ni. and the aid {:nt ar ilivottl pon the shanlt and (lit raprr wln ii 1.

a pair of downwardly projerting arms; a r (see Figs. 3 and 4} by means of the pivot pin The arms 0- -1 passing downwardly through th slot (1. and into the rireumlerential groove 7; oFthe shaft ll. so that the downward pressure of the lever I) will force the shaft l3 longitudinally forward in the shank A and the heli al slot B" therethrongh. through which the pivot pin a passes. will cause the shaft B and scrapr F: to revolve a quarter torn during the tor ward movement of the shaft ll. the senzper 7) thus arting as ejector as well ltn a seraper.

For returning the lever l to the position thereof shown in lull lines in Fig. l. l pro vicle a spring l5 hieh spring at its upper end is rigidly seemed to the lever E. and at, its lower end slidinglv engages the pin the hook at the lower end oi the spring lirniting the movement of the lever in its np-- Ward or (tnlltlt'T-t'lf hWlHO rotation h engagement with lhe pin thereby preventing the arms 0 v 'roni heeoming disengaged from the groove in the shaft B. When. however. it; desired to remove the scraper and shaft ll. and the mold spoon D and handle C For the purpose of cleaning the same. or otherwise, the pivot pin 0 is withdrawn from the structure whiehpermits the mold spoon l) to be disengaged from the handle (7 so that both of said pieces can be taken off from the shank A. and by unhooking the spring E from the transverse pin c and moving the lever E to the position Ill thereof shown by broken lines in Fig. 3, said shaft B and scra or b can be moved forward and withdrawn mm the shank A.

The handle 0 is provided with a spring 0', as shown in Fig. 5, which engages the shank A for the purpose of normally main taining the handle C and mold spoon D in the position thereof shown by broken lines in lig. 1. From the foregoing description of the construction and operation of my invention, it will be seen that by the removal of the pivot pin 0 the structure can be dismembered and cleaned, and again assembled by replacing the pivot pin 0 as shown in Figs. 3 and 4.

Having thus fully described the construction and operation of suitable mechanism for embodying my invention, I do not desire to be limited to the exact form and construction shown, as many changes can be made therein without departing from the scope of my invention.

Therefore what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. In a device of the class described, a hollow handle, an elongated pointed dipper bowl secured to one end thereof, a longitudinal slidable stem in said hollow handle, means to impart a partial rotation to said stem when the same is moved longitudinally, a scraper on the end of said stem within said bowl, a lever mechanism pivoted on said handle and adapted to engage and operate said scraper stem longitudinally within said handle, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

nall within said handle, substantially as.

set orth. A a

3. In a device of the class described, a hollow handle, a pointed dipperv bowl se cured on one end thereof, a shaft in said hollow handle, a scraper on said shaft within said dipper bowl, another pointed bowl member inverted over the first mentioned dipper bowl and pivoted on said handle, a

hollow handle having a longitudinal slot in tlie wall thereof, ears on said handle at each side of said slot, a semi-conical dipper bowl on one end of said handle, a shaft in said hollow handle extending intosaid bowl and having a helical slot therethrough adjacent to said bowl and a circumferential slot adjacent to the opposite end thereof, a pin through said helical slot, :1. scraper secured on the end of said shaft within said bowl, a spring pressed lever pivoted between said ears, an arm on said lever adapted to engage the circumferential slot in said shaft where by said shaft may be moved longitudinally and partially rotated within said handle, substantially as set forth.

5. In a device of the class described, a hollow handle having a slot through the wall thereof, ears on said handle at each side of said slot, a semi-conical dipper bowl secured on said handle, a shaft within said hollow handle, a'scraper secured on said shaft within said bowl, a lever pivoted between said ears, an arm on said lever adapted to engage sald, shaft, a transverse in extending through-said ears below sai lever, a spring secured to said lever and pressing upon said transverse pin adapted to raise said lever upward, and a hook on said spring adapted to engage said transverse pin to limit the upward movement of said lever, substantiall as set forth.

6. In .a evice of the class described, a handle, a dipper bowl secured to one end thereof, a spring pressed lever, projecting studs on 'each side of said lever, another bowl member mounted over the first mentioned bowl, ears on the base of said inverted bowl and engaging the studs on said lever, and a pivot in passing through said ears, spring pres lever and dipper handle adjacent to the bases of said bowls thereby forming a common pivot upon which said parts operate, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
